From: Wang Hai <hidden>

Also in: lkml
Subsystem: hisilicon network subsystem driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Jian Shen, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

Remove casting the values returned by memory allocation function.

Coccinelle emits WARNING:

./drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hix5hd2_gmac.c:1027:9-23: WARNING:
 casting value returned by memory allocation function to (struct sg_desc *) is useless.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
